Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good mother friendly films. Have come up to visit the old dear a week before the rest of the family get here and would be great to be given some good films to watch.

Some examples of films both my mum and I have enjoyed together in the past:

The Station Agent
Harvey
The Princess Bride

Ok, that is not a very comprehensive list but hopefully gives some idea :S

Grabbing this to watch tonight:

I work in a day centre for the elderly, they absolutely love

The Notebook

(If you've not seen it plot synopsis borrowed from elsewhere: This is a tale of love - a love that survives a lifetime of trials, separations and impediments. ‘Duke', an old man reads from a notebook to an ailing old woman in a nursing home, whose memory is deserting her by the day. The notebook tells the story of Noah and Allie, lovers who were separated because of their difference in social and economic standing. After seven years of patient wait, Allie marries Lon - a rich soldier, only to find soon that Noah still has the flame living for her. She has to make a choice. The movie has a twist, and you have to watch it to know it. It is a great romantic treat for the elderly people.)

Calendar Girls

Grumpy Old Men

Father of the Bride

Some Like it Hot

It's a Wonderful life

On Golden Pond (Wonderful film! My Mum's favourite)
